4  Who has performed and done this,

calling the generations from the beginning?

I, the Lord, ^fthe first,

and with the last; ^gI am he.

4  ^ueven to your old age ^vI am he,

and to gray hairs I will carry you.

I have made, and I will bear;

I will carry and will save.

12  “Listen to me, O Jacob,

and Israel, whom I called!

^tI am he; ^uI am the first,

and I am the last.
